Cover letter [patch 0/1] Another zfcp fix for 2.6.37-rc
James,
i know this is late, but if there will be another merge of scsi fixes for the 2.6.37-rc cycle, i would like to have this patch included on top of the previously sent fixes.
The REPORT LUNS scan from the SCSI midlayer works well after we enabled it with the zfcp changes in 2.6.37-rc1. But we discovered that we need a way to disable the LUN scan for the zfcpdump userspace tool. The zfcpdump tool runs in a restricted environment and there is not enough memory to attach SCSI devices for a large SAN fabric.
Introducing a new zfcp module parameter that is set for zfcpdump is the best solution to have the REPORT LUNS scan by default and allow to disable it from zfcpdump.
